I pulled out a 253 and dropped a 308 into with elec ignition and a 12v coil Into my HJ 1 Tonner.Now went for a drive to test her out and after 15 min or so there was burning wire smell in the cab Once back home i fished around under the dash and found a pink res wire that goes from the ignition switch-coil at the firewall it turns yellow, It has melted as well as other wiring which i can fix.

But my ??? is i joined the wire back together (i know its a res wire) but it gets hot after bout 3-5 min of the engine running. Whats the best way to fix this do i have to replace the res wire with the correct length. Or run 12 volts wire to coil as its now a 12v coil system not like the 253 was

Any help you guys have would be great..

Run 12v to the coil via a relay to remove the inline resistor .
